WATCH: Sia recreates video, gives rare TV performance on 'Ellen'

2 years ago

The Australian singer-songwriter made a rare appearance on Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." She didn't show her face to the audience or the camera out of her desire to stay out of the spotlight, but did recreate her music video featuring "Dance Moms" child dancer Maddie Ziegler.

The eleven-year-old performed a modern dance routine as Sia stood at a mic behind her singing toward the wall of the set.

The "Chandelier" video premiered earlier this month and has reached over ten million views.

Sia's "Ellen" performance also caused an unexpected stir among her fanbase. While introducing the singer, Ellen said Sia had written for Madonna, leading some to believe the Queen of Pop had enlisted her for her next album.

Sia's rep tells Billboard that Ellen was mistaken and a collaboration between the two isn't happening.
